New @chron: "There was plenty of 'man up, motherf---er.' Plenty of 'stop whining.'" Ime Udoka is harsh. He’s also widely respected across the NBA. Why? Jayson Tatum, Grant Williams, Kyle Anderson, Jabari Smith Jr. and more explain ⬇️ chron.com/sports/rockets/art…

🚀 Fun one this week on @LockedOnRockets with @JTGatlin Alperen Şengün for Chet Holmgren. Is that such a crazy idea? Which player would thrive more in the other locale? We discuss the hypothetical for each team run through more modest trade options for Houston. Tap-in ⬇️ youtu.be/mVrgL0Z_t2w?is=rPzm…

Is Alperen for Chet sensible on paper? Sure! I still think the human dynamics here would dissuade Houston from such a deal. They know Alperen is built to be a prime-time player. He’s had his playoff struggles. But he hasn’t shrunk from the moment in either 2025 or 2026.

One person not exactly thrilled with the Knicks’ comeback last night? Vernon Maxwell. Mad Max last week on the NBA Finals: “I can’t say what I really want to say about New York. … Man, fuck New York.”

The spirit of the 1994 Finals is still very much alive for the old Rockets, btw. Robert Horry in 2024 on the ‘94 Knicks: “Those were some mean, nasty dudes. They were a gritty team, a grimy team, a real East Coast team. ... They don't really make 'em like that anymore." chron.com/sports/rockets/art…

There are three of these giant misting stations spread across the Fan Festival. Also multiple stations for water refills, free sunscreen and hand sanitizer. It’s a hot and humid day here in Houston. Definitely a solid test case of the various beat-the-heat measures installed.

I asked Will Anderson Jr. if he plans to slow his motor at Texans’ practice. Don’t count on it. “Naturally that’s who I am. I've been like that since high school.” "They've been trying to slow me down, but I love the preparation, I love the process, and for me, the preparation and the process has to be consistent. The only way it can be consistent is if you practice the way you want to play in the game.”
DeMeco Ryans on Will Anderson Jr: “Will continues to wreck practice I’m probably going to have to sit him out here soon. We have to be able to actually practice. He keeps wrecking practice, keeps causing havoc, that’s what he does.”

Yesterday was Will Anderson Jr.’s first youth football camp in Houston, btw. Great turnout. Hundreds of campers went through drills, races various activities w/Anderson. Seemed like a thrill for both the kids Texans’ star. “My first camp in Houston, the city showed up big.”

I asked Vernon Maxwell how Hakeem Olajuwon would fare vs. Victor Wembanyama. “[Wembanyama] wouldn’t be able to guard him. Dream would be falling away from all that 7’4” shit. He wouldn’t be able to guard Dream, Dream just had too much.” “It would have been a massacre.”

Rudy Tomjanovich says the new Rockets jerseys bring back “warm memories” of the 1994 and 1995 championship teams. Adds: “There were so many people that didn’t believe we could do it, and none of us had. And we pulled together and got it done.”

Good to see Vernon Maxwell back in the fold with the Rockets. Here’s Maxwell on his return and Houston’s new jerseys. “Vernon Maxwell, man, who ever thought Vernon Maxwell would be back doing all this? So, kudos to the Rockets, man.” “Ketchup and mustard, it was one of my favorite jerseys. I always loved wearing it. I knew when I put it on, someone was gonna be in trouble.”
